1914]  Goddard:   Chilula  Texts  291 

INTRODUCTION 

The  texts  presented  here  are  the  results  of  an  attempt  to 
rescue  the  folk  literature  of  a  disappearing  group  of  Indians. 

The  first  part  consists  of  texts  secured  from  the  Hill  family, 
who  were  the  last  to  leave  the  Bald  Hills  and  join  their  kindred 
in  Hupa  Valley.^  Tom  Hill,  the  father,  knew  many  medicine 
formulas,  but,  as  he  claimed,  few  myths.  It  is  known,  however, 
that  the  myths  and  tales  of  the  Hupa  were  shared  by  the  Chilula 
of  Bald  Hills.  For  the  general  student  the  differences  between 
the  Hupa  and  the  Chilula  of  that  region  are  too  small  and  few 
to  be  important. 

The  texts  forming  the  second  portion  of  the  paper  were 
obtained  from  a  very  aged  woman,  a  native  of  Redwood  Creek, 
south  of  Bald  Hills,  the  wife  of  Molasses.**  Her  age  made  the 
securing  of  these  texts  very  difficult.  She  spoke  the  dialect  of 
middle  and  upper  Redwood  Creek.  The  larger  number  of  the 
surviving  natives  of  that  region  were  with  the  Hupa  when  young 
and  use  the  Hupa  pronunciation.  This  informant  used  k'  where 
Hupa  has  x,  agreeing  in  this  respect  with  the  Athapascans  in 
the  region  immediately  south.  She  also  used  a  for  e  in  many 
words,  but  this  is  considered  a  personal  peculiarity.  It  was 
impossible  to  record  a  complete  text  directly  from  her  lips.  The 
interpreter,  O'Haniel  Bailey,  a  Whilkut,  supplied  many  phrases 
and  sentences.    These  are  Hupa  in  their  phonetics. 

To  one  familar  with  the  region  these  myths  and  tales  give  it 
an  ancient  and  supernatural  atmosphere.  As  one  passes  a  par- 
ticular spot  he  is  reminded  that  here  such  a  monster  used  to  live, 
or  that  these  rocks  are  still  the  abode  of  hostile  spirits  to  placate 
whom  certain  medicine  formulas  are  used.  It  is  feared  that  to 
the  stranger  this  impression  can  not  be  conveyed.

5  as  in  note. 

oi  as  in  boil.  • 

XL  as  in  rule. 

ii  as  in  but. 

y  as  in  yes. 

w  as  in  will. 

w  an  unvoiced  w  occurring  frequently  at  the  end  of  syllables. 

hw  the  preceding  in  the  initial  position. 

1  as  in  let. 

L  an  unvoiced  sound  made  with  the  tip  of  the  tongue  against  the  teeth, 

the  breath  being  allowed  to  escape  rather  freely  between  the  sides 

of  the  tongue  and  the  back  teeth. 
L  made  in  the  position  of  the  preceding  sound,  but  accompanied  by 

glottal  closure.    It  also  begins  with  a  complete  contact  revealed  in 

a  t  which  closes  all  weak  syllables  preceding  it. 
m  as  in  Engish. 
n  usually  as  in  English,  but  sometimes  short,  due  to  a  glottal  stop 

following, 
n  as  ng  in  sing. 

h  somewhat  stronger  than  in  English. 
*  the  preceding  after  vowels. 

X  a  palatal  voiceless  spirant  like  ch  in  German  nach. 
s  as  in  sit. 

c  as  sh  in  shall,  occurs  only  after  t. 
d  formed  in  the  dental  position;  sonant  after  the  release  of  the  tongue. 

When  it  is  preceded  by  a  weak  vowel  a  t  is  heard, 
t  in  the  position  of  d,  surd  and  strongly  aspirated,  much  as  in  tell. 
t  in  the  position  of  d,  surd,  unaspirated  and  accompanied  by  glottal 

closure, 
k  a  surd  stop  having  the  contact  on  the  posterior  third  of  the  hard 

palate,  when  it  precedes  a  front  vowel  or  y;  before  a  back  vowel 

the  contact  is  on  the  soft  palate.     It  is  accompanied  by  glottal 

closure  giving  the  sound  considerable  harshness, 
k'    a  strongly  aspirated  surd  palatal  stop.     It  is  found  only  in  the 

second  part  of  the  paper,  being  used  where  the  Hupa  use  x. 
g  has  the  positions  of  k  as  given  above.    In  sonancy  it  resembles  d. 
q  similar  to  g,  but  more  noticeably  velar. 

dj  a  sonant  affricative  consisting  of  the  zh  sound  in  English  azure  pre- 
ceded by  a  complete  contact, 
tc  an  affricative,  an  sh  sound  preceded  by  a  complete  contact.     It  is 

accompanied  by  a  glottal  closure  in  most  instances.    When  the  texts 

were  recorded  tc  without  glottal  closure  was  not  differentiated  in 

writing. 
^  glottal  closure.     It  occurs  in  many  words  where  it  was  not  noted. 

It  is  present,  probably,  in  all  cases  where  two  vowels  are  written 

without  a  separating  consonant. 

Note. — In  the  texts  each  Indian  word  is  translated  by  an  English  word 
or  phrase  which  has  been  set  off  from  those  preceding  and  following  by 
wide  spacing.  It  is  only  by  accident  that  the  English  translation  occa- 
sionally stands  under  the  Indian  word  of  which  it  is  a  translation.

I.  THE  WAB  WITH  THE  LASSIK  INDTANSss 

A  war  party  went  far  south.  All  the  Indians  who  used  to 
live  on  upper  Redwood  creek  went  with  the  party.  All  the 
people  who  used  to  live  below  laqui  butte  and  at  the  big  bend 
of  Mad  river  went  also.  They  met  on  the  ridge  south  of  the 
head  of  Redwood  creek  and  held  the  war  dance.  There  were 
sixty  men  who  had  weapons.  The  dance  line  was  so  long  that 
in  two  places  a  man  stood  in  front  of  the  line  and  danced.  They 
shot  with  bows  and  arrows  and  with  white  man's  guns.  The 
party  was  two  days  and  two  nights  on  the  way.  They  came  to 
the  village  of  Taike^,  at  the  mouth  of  Dobbin  creek,  and  fought 
with  the  Indians  living  there.    Many  bodies  were  left  lying  there. 

They  turned  back  and  camped  for  the  night.  Some  of  them 
said  there  used  to  be  very  many  Indians  living  in  that  neighbor- 
hood. Then  we  went  ahead  as  scouts.  When  we  had  gone  so 
far  (about  a  mile)  we  came  to  a  ridge,  which  we  followed  until 
we  came  to  XdLokotcme,  where  they  were  camping.  They  were 
talking.  Some  of  them  were  laughing  and  some  were  crying. 
Then  we  ran  back  south.  The  war  party  was  coming  from  the 
south. 

They  surrounded  the  enemy  and  began  shooting  at  them  with 
bows  and  arrows.  After  they  had  fought  for  some  time  they 
began  to  shoot  with  white  man's  guns.  '*Bau,  bau,  bau,"  they 
sounded.  Then  they  fled.  They  got  under  a  log  which  was  lying 
on  the  side  of  a  gulch.  They  began  to  fight  in  the  morning  and 
were  still  fighting  when  the  sun  was  here  in  the  west.     They 


38  This  is  the  expedition  which  avenged  the  deaths  of  the  Chilula  who 
were  returning  from  Mendocino  County.     (See  pp.  268-291  above.)

carried  pieces  of  bark  in  front  of  themselves  and  went  into  the 
gulch  to  them  and  killed  them  all.  Their  missies  were  all  gone. 
Two  men,  brothers,  were  wounded.  They  fought  until  the  sun 
was  setting.    We  started  back. 

II.  PANTHER  AND  GRIZZLY  BEAR 

Panther  lived  there  with  his  two  brothers.  He  used  to  spend 
all  his  time  hunting,  but  before  he  set  out  each  time  he  used  to 
say  to  his  brothers,  "You  must  not  go  to  the  top  of  the  ridge 
west."  One  day  when  he  had  cautioned  them  and  left  to  hunt, 
the  boys  said  to  each  other,  "Why  does  he  always  tell  us  that? 
Come,  let  us  go  up  on  the  ridge  west. ' '  When  they  were  on  the 
ridge  they  looked  and  way  at  the  end  of  the  timber  they  saw  an 
old  man  lying  with  his  legs  crossed.  His  wife  sat  by  him.  They 
shouted,  "Old  man  over  there,  come,  help  us  pound."  Then 
the  old  man  said, ' '  What  did  you  say  ? "  "  Come,  help  us  pound. ' ' 
"Well,"  he  said,  and  took  down  the  grizzly  bear  skin  blanket 
that  he  wore  and  put  it  on.  The  two  boys  ran  back,  went  into 
the  house  and  slid  to  the  door.  When  they  had  sat  there  some 
time  they  heard  him  coming.  "Boys,  open  the  door  for  me," 
he  called  to  them.  When  they  did  not  open  it,  he  climbed  on 
the  roof  and  came  down  the  smokehole.  They  gave  him  some 
venison  and  he  began  eating  it.  He  finished  it  and  they  gave 
him  another  helping.  He  ate  that  and  then  all  the  meat  in  the 
house.  Finally  he  ate  the  untanned  hides.  When  he  had  fin- 
ished everything  he  said,  "Well,  I  will  go  home."  The  boys 
opened  the  door  for  him,  but  his  belly  was  so  full  he  could  not 
go  through.  He  went  out  the  smokehole.  The  house  was  nearly 
filled  with  the  filth  he  left  behind  him.  The  boys  began  carrying 
it  outside  with  baskets. 

When  the  oldest  brother  came  home  he  was  carrying  two 
deer  which  he  had  killed.  "I  always  tell  you  not  to  go  to  the 
ridge  west,"  he  said  to  them.  He  slapped  the  face  of  wildcat 
and  pinched  out  the  face  of  fox. 

He  spent  a  night  flaking  arrowpoints.  In  the  morning  he 
started,  carrying  five  quivers  full  of  arrows.  He  came  where  the 
old  man  was  lying  and  shot  him  twice.     "Alo,"  the  old  man 


1914]  Goddard:   CMlula  Texts  353 

cried,  **what  did  you  put  in  the  fire  that  snaps  so?"  **It  is  the 
fire  snapping,  is  it?  He  is  shooting  at  you,"  the  old  woman 
said.  Then  the  old  man  jumped  up  and  took  down  the  grizzly 
bear  blanket  and  put  it  on.  The  young  man  kept  shooting  back 
at  him  as  he  ran  after  him.  Finally  he  had  only  one  arrow  left. 
The  old  woman  then  called  to  him,  "Between  his  toes."  He 
shot  him  there  and  he  rolled  over.    He  killed  him. 


III.  LOVE  MEDICINE— YIMANTUWINYAI 

Yimantuwiiiyai  came  into  being  on  the  hill  above  Mukkana- 
duwuladiil.  He  heard  about  a  girl  who  had  come  to  be  here 
at  the  southeast.  She  did  not  look  at  men.  *'I  will  go,"  he 
thought.  In  the  morning  he  started.  He  was  looking  for  a  plant 
as  he  went  along  toward  the  north.  A  plant  had  sprung  up. 
He  took  its  leaves  and  rubbed  them  in  his  hands.  He  took  out 
the  root,  too,  and  rolled  it  in  his  hands  five  times.  Then  he 
climbed  up  to  the  southeast.  He  looked  and  saw  her  sitting  there. 
She  looked  at  him.  Finally  he  came  to  her.  Her  eyes  were  large 
with  crying.  "Well,"  she  thought,  *' you  in  front  of  me.  Lone- 
someness  has  fallen  on  me. "  "  Now  I  am  going  back, ' '  he  said. 
"Well,  wait  for  me.  I  will  go  with  you,"  she  said.  She  went 
into  the  water  and  after  some  time  came  out  with  a  load.  Then 
they  started  back.  They  came  back  to  the  hill  above  Mukkana- 
duwuladiii. 

' '  This  is  the  way  it  will  be.  Indians  will  come.  He  will  say 
my  formula.    This  way  it  will  be  hard." 

This  way  only. 


The  Prayer 

"You  who  came  into  being  above  Mukkanadiiwuladin,  loan 
me  your  herb."  "Yes,"  he  said.  "Well,  all  right,  you  know 
my  body  (formula).  You  say  it  has  happened.  Well,  I  will 
loan  it  to  you.  All  right,  you  know  my  formula.  I  say  not 
many  will  know  my  formula.  Well,  take  it  with  you. "  "  Yes, ' ' 
he  said.    "Now  I  will  go  back.    Now  I  will  take  it."

IV.  LOVE  MEDICINE— YIDETUWINYAlso 

Yidetuwiiiyai  came  into  being  at  Tcexoltcwedin.  He  heard 
the  name  of  a  Klxunnai  young  man  talked  about  who  had  come 
into  existence  at  the  eastern  end  of  the  ocean.  When  he  came 
there  they  began  to  play  the  stick  game  and  continued  playing 
until  Yidetuwiiiyai  had  won  all  the  property  the  other  one  had. 

On  his  return  when  he  came  to  the  mouth  of  Salmon  river  a 
Klxunnai  young  man  who  had  come  into  existence  under  the 
water  came  out  to  him  and  challenged  him  to  see  who  would  be 
successful  with  two  Klxunnai  maidens.  The  Klxunnai  tried  first, 
but  after  a  time  started  back  in  despair.  The  girl  said  no  to 
him  and  refused  to  open  the  door. 

But  Yidetuwiiiyai  walked  straight  past.  Then  their  heads 
really  came  out  the  door  and  they  said,  * '  Well,  come  in. "  "  No, ' ' 
he  said,  "I  am  going  back."  He  sat  down  at  the  end  of  the 
resting  place.  When  he  looked  back  the  women  were  really 
coming  behind  him.  As  he  looked  around  himself  he  saw  that 
dentalia  were  scattered  for  a  long  distance.  He  went  on  past  the 
mouth  of  the  Trinity  river.  The  women  said  to  him,  ''This  is 
the  first  time  you  have  not  desired  women. ' '  He  went  on  paying 
no  attention  to  them  and  came  back  to  Tcexoltcwediii.  The  two 
women  who  formerly  had  never  come  out  of  their  house  when 
men  were  about  came  with  him  to  Tcexoltcwedin. 


V.  LOVE  MEDICINE— YIMANTUWINYAI'S  ILLEGITIMATE  SON^o 

Yimantuwiiiyai 's  illegitimate  son  was  at  the  northern  end  of 
the  world  where  he  lived  with  his  grandmother.  '*I  will  go 
visiting,"  he  said  one  time.  "Where  is  that  herb  which  grew 
by  me  where  I  came  into  being?  Bring  it  to  me."  "There  it 
stands,  yonder,"  she  said  to  him.  He  started  away  carrying  it 
with  him.  He  came  to  Mukkanaduwuladiii  and  entered  the  Hupa 
(Klamath)  river.  He  came  to  Weitspec  and  climbed  Bald  hill. 
He  came  down  at  MeisdiLdin  and  went  south  on  this  trail  to 


39  No  herb  or  other  object  is  used  with  this  formula  except  the  song 
which  Yidetuwinyai  sang  as  he  came  down  the  river.     It  has  no  words. 

40  An  illegitimate  person  among  the  Hupa  could  only  marry  one  of 
very  low  rank.  The  formulas  usually  take  extreme  cases  to  illustrate 
their  power. 


1914]  Goddard:    CMlula  Texts  355 

TcittindiLekai  (Sugar-bowl  mountain),  where  he  sat  down  to 
rest.    Then  he  went  on  from  the  north  to  Leldin. 

He  was  astonished  to  see  smoke  standing  up  before  him. 
Some  one  was  smoking  himself  in  the  sweathouse.  It  was  the 
one  who  lies  in  the  water  who  was  smoking  himself.  When  he 
came  out  his  hair  reached  to  his  hips.  He  spoke  to  the  traveler 
and  asked  him  to  come  into  the  house.  When  they  went  in  women 
were  sitting  inside.  Then  the  old  man  said  to  him,  '*Let  us  go 
into  the  sweathouse. ' ' 

When  they  were  in  the  sweathouse  he  talked  to  him.  **Do 
not  let  yourself  think  much  about  them.  They  are  my  women. 
They  come  into  being  for  me  in  my  presence  in  every  place. 
The  two  sitting  in  the  entrance  of  the  house  came  here  with  me 
several  days  ago.  They  came  into  being  on  the  other  side  of 
the  ocean  southwest.  Now  I  hear  two  have  come  into  being  in 
the  land  that  faces  the  eastern  ocean.  I  had  thought  to  go  there 
for  them,  but  you  better  go.  I  always  go  with  the  plant  that  is 
standing  at  the  exit  of  the  sweathouse. "  *  *  No, ' '  replied  his  guest, 
*  *  I  will  go  empty-handed. ' ' 

He  started  away  and  when  he  came  where  the  land  faces  the 
eastern  ocean  he  saw  two  women  sitting  making  baskets.  ''Well, 
come  into  the  house,"  they  said  to  him.  He  went  in.  "Put  the 
cooking  stones  on  the  fire.  Get  some  water,"  one  of  them  said. 
They  went  out  and  ran  into  the  water.  When  the  man  went  out 
he  saw  them  swimming  along  way  to  the  north.  **Well,"  he 
said,  and  rolled  over  on  the  ground  five  times.  He  started  back. 
When  he  came  to  Leldin  he  brought  sweathouse  wood  and  smoked 
himself.  When  he  finished  smoking  himself  he  sat  outside  the 
sweathouse.  When  he  looked  up  he  saw  two  persons  coming 
from  the  east  with  blankets  spread  over  their  loads.  They  came 
there.  The  next  morning  they  started  back.  They  came  to  the 
northern  end  of  the  world.    There  were  two  women  with  him. 


VI.  LOVE  MEDICINE— THE  MT.  SHASTA  WOMEN 

A  KTxunnai  young  man  came  into  being  at  the  southern  end 
of  the  world.  At  the  same  time  an  herb  came  up  by  him.  He 
did  not  see  any  people.    After  a  time  he  thought,  "Well,  I  will

look  for  them.'*  He  started  out  in  the  morning  and  went  up 
in  the  sky.  When  he  came  to  the  resting  place  he  shot  as  is  the 
custom.  Then  he  looked  inside  of  the  world.  There  to  the  base 
of  Mt.  Shasta  his  vision  extended.  *' There  it  is  they  have  be- 
come," he  thought.  When  he  came  to  the  base  of  Mt.  Shasta 
they  said  to  him,  "Well,  come  in."  He  went  in  the  house  and 
said,  **I  am  going  to  stay  only  a  short  time.  I  am  going  back." 
**Yes,"  said  the  women,  ''we  will  go  with  you."  He  started 
back  and  the  two  women  went  with  him.  They  came  to  the 
southern  end  of  the  world.  They  spent  the  night  there.  Then 
those  women  said  to  him,  "You  think  there  are  no  Kixunnai 
who  have  come  into  being?"  "Well,"  he  replied,  "I  do  not 
know  of  any."  "Yes,"  they  told  him,  "here  to  the  northeast 
is  a  Kixunnai.  With  him  two  women  came  into  being.  They 
do  not  see  people.  They  never  go  out."  "I  will  go  there  too," 
he  said.  In  the  morning  he  started.  He  carried  his  herb  with 
himself.  When  he  came  to  the  place  in  the  northeast  where  the 
women  had  come  into  being,  they  said  to  him,  "Well,  come  in." 
"I  will  stay  just  a  little  while,"  he  said,  "and  then  I  will  go 
back."  "We  will  go  with  you,"  they  replied.  Then  he  went 
back  and  they  two  went  with  him.  They  came  to  the  southern 
end  of  the  world. 

"  I  do  this  for  Indians  who  will  come, ' '  he  thought.  ' '  It  will 
be  just  this  way.    This  way  my  formula  will  be  hard." 

Just  this  way  only. 


VII.  DEEE  MEDICINE— PANTHEE  AND  WILDCAT 

Panther  lived  with  his  younger  brother  Wildcat  at  Kotc- 
mitta*  din.*^  Panther  always  went  hunting,  but  Wildcat  always 
set  snares.  His  sister-in-law  used  to  say  to  him,  "I  am  tired  of 
dressing  hides,  my  fingers  ache. ' '  Because  she  complained  Wild- 
cat went  away.  When  Panther  came  home  his  younger  brother 
was  not  there.  "You  must  have  been  saying  something  to  him," 
he  said  to  his  wife.  "No,"  she  said,  "I  only  said  my  fingers 
ached."

series.)

Panther  tracked  him  to  Senimme.*^  When  he  came  up  be- 
hind the  house  he  heard  talking  inside.  He  spent  the  night 
right  there  behind  the  house.  In  the  morning  he  saw  his  brother 
come  out  with  two  ropes  on  top  of  each  other.  He  went  up  to 
him  at  Seninmukkostuk  and  said,  "I  am  afraid.  Is  it  not  queer 
you  came  here?  I  am  afraid  of  this  mountain."*^  They  went 
up  to  the  sky  and  came  where  the  deer-lick  is  that  is  white. 
There  were  no  trees  there,  so  they  made  a  fence  with  bunch 
grass.  Then  it  snowed.  They  sat  there  watching  until  the  sun 
was  in  the  west,  when  white  deer  went  in.  They  drove  them  out 
of  the  water  and  two  were  snared.  They  dressed  them  and 
placed  the  meat  in  carriers  made  of  withes.  They  got  into  these 
carriers  themselves  and  rolled  down.  When  they  came  to  Senin- 
mukkostuk they  stopped.  "Well,  carry  them,"  he  said.  Wild- 
cat came  back  to  Senimme  carrying  two  white  deer.

VIII.  DEER  MEDICINE— THE  NASLINDIN  YOUNG  MAN 

A  young  Kixunnai  man  came  into  being  back  of  Naslindin. 
The  mountain  grew  along  with  him.  When  he  looked  out  at 
midnight  the  mountain  had  grown  up  higher.  He  used  to  hunt 
deer.  He  did  not  sleep.  After  a  time  that  one  who  did  not  use 
to  sleep  slept.  He  dreamed  about  women.  Notwithstanding  he 
went  out  in  the  morning.  The  mountain  which  grew  up  with 
him  was  not  there.  Nevertheless  he  went  out  for  deer.  He 
climbed  up  into  the  sky.  There  were  no  deer  to  be  seen.  He 
heard  deer  snort  by  the  eastern  water.  "This  way  it  will  be," 
he  thought.  "Indians  will  become."  He  came  back.  "I  will 
make  its  medicine."  Then  he  made  it.  When  he  looked,  it  (the 
mountain)  had  grown  up  again.  In  the  morning  he  went  out 
again  and  went  up  to  the  sky.  A  deer  was  standing  with  its 
face  toward  him.  "This  way  it  is,"  he  thought.  "Indians  will 
come.  Even  if  he  does  this  way,  he  will  kill  deer  if  he  has  my 
herb  and  says  my  formula." 

This  way  only.

IX.  DEER  MEDICINE— YOUNG  MAN  BECOMES  A  SHRUB 

A  Kixunnai  young  man  came  into  being  in  this  middle  world. 
He  did  nothing  but  hunt  deer.  He  did  not  sleep.  After  a 
time  he  did  sleep  and  dreamed  about  women.**  Notwithstand- 
ing his  dream  he  went  out  the  next  morning  to  hunt.  He  did 
not  see  deer.  He  finally  got  tired  looking  for  deer  in  vain.  *'I 
will  turn  into  a  plant,"  he  said  to  himself.  He  became  funmiL- 
Luwe  (a  ceanothus).  It  stood  beside  the  sweathouse.  Then  the 
deer  came  to  him  and  ate  it. 

''Well,"  he  thought,  "I  did  it  for  Indians.  It  will  be  just 
this  way  in  regard  to  deer.  It  will  be  this  way  when  one  repeats 
my  formula. ' ' 

X.  DEER  MEDICINE— RAVEN 

Raven  came  to  be  at  the  southern  end  of  the  world.  He 
hunted  for  deer  in  vain.  He  did  not  see  any.  Finally  he  thought 
he  would  go  away.  He  pointed  his  canoe  across  the  ocean.  In 
the  morning  he  started.  When  he  was  half  way  a  plant  grew 
up  on  the  bow  of  his  canoe.  When  he  had  floated  a  little  way  he 
looked  up.  A  deer  was  coming  up  on  the  east  side.  When  he 
looked  to  the  west  a  deer  was  coming  up  there  also.  He  floated 
out  at  Mukkanadtiwuladin.  ''I  will  go  again  to  the  water's  end 
at  the  south  where  I  used  to  live, ' '  he  thought.*^  He  cam-e  there 
to  the  end  of  the  southern  water.  In  the  night  he  heard  some- 
thing outside.  The  deer  were  eating  that  plant.  He  took  it  up 
from  the  bow  of  his  canoe  and  set  it  out  back  of  his  house.  They 
came  there  for  it.    Then  he  saw  deer. 

"This  way  it  will  be,"  he  thought,  '*if  one  takes  my  herb 
with  him." 

XI.  DEER  MEDICINE— BLACK  WOLF 
Black  wolf  came  into  being  at  Hundred-acre  prairie.***    He 
always  dreamed  about  women.    Some  one  told  him,  '*At  the  end 


44  Such  dreams  unfit  the  hunter,  and  all  who  eat  with  him,  for  hunting 
deer,  and  should  a  deer  be  killed  after  such  a  dream  the  hunter's  soul  is 
believed  to  be  taken  captive  by  the  deer  gods. 

45  He  came  down  the  Trinity  and  Klamath  rivers  to  the  ocean  and 
then  went  back  along  the  shore  of  the  ocean  to  his  home,  where  it  was 
believed  the  Trinity  river  had  its  origin  in  the  supposed  water  of  the 
south.

of  the  eastern  water  ten  brothers  have  become.  They  are  very 
smart  and  their  names  have  traveled."  ''I  will  go  there,"  he 
thought.  Then  he  started  and  came  to  the  eastern  end  of  the 
world.  In  ten  places  there  was  a  man  carrying  a  deer-mask  on 
his  head.  He  started  back  in  the  morning.  They  made  a  load 
so  small  for  him.  He  came  back  to  Hundred-acre  prairie.  When 
he  had  stayed  several  nights  some  one  said  to  him,  ''Those 
Kixunnai  are  dead."  ''Well,  I  knew  that  would  happen,"  he 
thought  to  himself.  "I  will  go.  I  will  take  my  herb  along  with 
me."  He  came  to  the  eastern  ocean's  end.  They  were  all  lying 
dead  around  the  fire.*^  "Get  up,"  he  told  them.  Then  he 
pounded  medicine  for  them  and  rubbed  it  on  them.  "Well,  you 
better  go  out  for  deer. ' '  They  found  deer  again  and  killed  them. 
* '  I  did  that  for  Indians  who  will  come.  This  way  it  will  be  hard 
for  the  one  who  does  not  say  my  formula."  He  came  back  to 
Hundred-acre  prairie. 

XII.  MONEY  MEDICINE— THE  SCABBY  BOY 
He  came  into  being  at  Kesettcitdin  (mouth  of  Mad  river). 
He  was  all  covered  with  scabs.  He  had  ten  brothers  and  a  small 
sister.  This  sister  fed  him  without  the  knowledge  of  her  brothers, 
who  hated  the  scabbly  one.  Nevertheless  he  used  to  go  out  at 
night  and  fish  with  a  dipnet.  One  night  he  was  fishing  and 
saying  "yowe,  yowe."  Finally  he  thought  he  would  go  away. 
He  twisted  some  string.  Then  he  said,  "In  the  morning  I  will 
go.  Let  them  come  in  to  me."  When  they  came  in,  he  gave 
each  of  them  a  string  of  dentalia.  ' '  Now,  I  am  going  away  from 
you."  "Well,"  they  thought,  "he  is  smart."  Then  he  went 
away  to  the  east,  where  he  is  now.*^

An  illegitimate  person  came  into  being  at  Kinnaxonta' din.'*®

or  of  meat  they  had  killed.     (Cf.  present  series,  I,  323.)

his  hands  toward  the  west.  Then  he  points  his  hands  toward 
the  east.  The  dentalia  wiggle  in  his  hand.  Now,  this  way  it 
will  be.  Even  an  illegitimate  person  will  possess  something  if  he 
sings  this  song,"  he  said. 

XIV.  GOOD  LUCK  MEDICINE— YIDUKATOME  YOUNG  MAN 

A  young  Kixunnai  man  came  into  being  at  the  eastern  water 's 
end.  When  he  came  into  being  his  herb  sprang  up  by  him.  Here 
on  the  other  side  of  the  ocean  to  the  southwest  two  women^"  came 
into  being.  He  used  to  go  there.  When  he  came  home  he  used 
to  wash  himself  with  his  herb.  Notwithstanding  what  he  did  he 
used  to  kill  deer  and  get  money. 

'^If  one  takes  my  herb  with  him  my  medicine  will  do  even 
that  for  him." 

This  way  only. 


50  These  the  narrator  explained  were  women  who  were  perpetually 
menstruating.  Such  women  are  mentioned  in  medicine  formulas  because 
they  represent  the  sources  of  extreme  ill  luck.

XVI.  THE  COMING  OF  INDIANS 

Yimankyuwiiixoiyan  came  into  being  at  the  northern  end  of 
the  world.  He  began  thinking  about  people  and  how  they  might 
be  brought  into  existence.  He  saw  a  woman  walking  along.  ''I 
will  lie  with  her,"  he  said  to  himself,  and  started  toward  her. 
He  came  to  her  and  did  as  he  had  intended.  When  he  had 
resumed  his  journey  he  was  very  thirsty.  He  was  so  thirsty 
he  was  nearly  falling  from  weakness.  As  he  walked  along  he 
heard  flowing  water.  *'0h,"  he  said,  ''now  I  will  drink."  He 
fell  right  into  the  pool  where  the  w^ater  was  standing.  He  drank 
and  drank  and  drank.  A  log  floated  into  his  mouth  with  the 
water.  He  fell  over  on  his  back  and  lay  there  thinking  he  was 
dead.  He  was  not  revived  by  the  next  morning.  After  a  time 
he  heard  a  raven  croaking.  "I  wish  he  would  peck  my  belly 
open,"  he  said  to  himself.  Then  the  raven  did  peck  his  belly 
open.  "Phu"  the  water  sounded  as  it  ran  out  and  stood  in  a 
pool  as  it  had  before. 

Yimankyuwinxoiyan  got  up  and  went  on  toward  the  south. 
*'I  wish  something  would  appear,"  he  thought,  when  a  hollow 
tree  stood  before  him.  "I  will  go  inside,"  he  said  to  himself. 
The  tree  grew  together,  closing  him  in.  "I  wish  somebody  would 
do  something,"  he  kept  thinking.  Then  he  heard  pounding 
where  the  tree  had  grown  together.  "I  came  here  from  the 
southeast,"  he  heard  some  one  say.  "I  knew  what  you  were 
doing.  It  has  happened  in  many  places."  When  the  tree  had 
been  opened,  he  came  out  again. ^^ 

He  went  on  walking  toward  the  south.  He  saw  a  canoe  float- 
ing about  with  two  women  sitting  up  in  it.  "I  will  do  that 
again,"  he  said,  and  dived  into  the  water.  He  came  up  under 
the  edge  of  the  canoe,  climbed  in,  and  lay  with  both  of  them.

As  he  walked  on  toward  the  south  he  saw  a  man  walking  with 
his  sister.  He  waded  into  the  water,  plucked  out  some  of  his  pubic 
hairs,  and  threw  them  into  the  water.  They  floated  to  the  woman 
and  entered  her.  She  was  staggering  as  she  came  out  of  the 
water.  In  the  course  of  a  day's  time  she  was  very  ill.  **You 
better  call  him, ' '  she  said  to  her  brother.  '  *  He  may  be  a  medicine 
man."  The  brother  brought  him  and  he  danced  and  sang  over 
her.  "I  do  not  doctor  where  people  are  sitting,"  he  said.  The 
people  all  went  out  except  sapsucker,  who  stuck  to  the  doorpost 
and  observed  what  was  done.  Yimankyuwinxoiyan  lay  with  the 
girl,  recovering  his  pubic  hairs  in  that  manner.  As  he  withdrew 
them  he  sang  a  song. 

While  he  was  going  on  again  toward  the  south  he  saw  a 
woman  walking  on  the  tops  of  the  trees.  "Come  down,  I  want 
to  talk  to  you,"  he  called  when  he  came  under  her.  "What  is 
it  that  you  intend  doing  to  me  that  you  speak  so?"  she  asked. 
She  came  down,  and  Yimankyuwinxoiyan  ran  up  to  her  and 
said,  *  *  This  is  what  I  will  do.  I  wish  that  there  should  be  people 
in  the  world." 

He  left  her  and  started  on.  He  was  surprised  to  see  three 
people  walking  along.  * '  We  knew  all  about  it, ' '  they  said,  * '  how 
you  wished  there  might  be  people  in  the  world.  It  will  be  so 
everywhere.  People  will  come  into  existence  because  you  first 
did  this.  Men  and  women  will  live  together  since  you  first  have 
lain  with  women.  You  have  not  passed  by  even  one  woman  on 
your  journey.  I  have  thought  that  Indians  would  come  into 
being  everywhere.  When  they  grow  old  and  die  others  will  be 
born  to  take  their  places.  They  will  come  into  being  one  after 
the  other.  This  is  the  way  the  world  will  be.  This  is  the  way 
Indians  will  live.  I  even  thought  some  one  would  come  into  the 
world  for  their  sakes." 

After  a  time  he  decided  to  go  on.  Then  they  said  to  him, 
"These  are  your  children."  "No,"  he  replied,  "I  do  not  think 
they  are  my  children."  "I  think  they  are  certainly  your  chil- 
dren. "    "  Well,  yes,  I  believe  they  are  mine, ' '  he  assented. 

He  went  on  going  among  the  people.  "I  will  make  more  of 
them.  When  people  are  living  on  the  earth  I  do  not  think  they 
will  quarrel,  or  hate  each  other,  or  fight.    They  will  not  do  dif- 


1914]  Goddard:   CMlula  Texts  363 

ferently  from  the  way  I  have  done.  Those  who  grow  up  together 
will  not  quarrel." 

He  went  on  again.  As  he  walked  along  he  said  to  himself, 
**I  will  go  on  until  I  come  to  a  definite  place  and  then  I  will 
stop.  When  the  people  are  living  they  will  be  a  little  south  of 
the  middle  of  the  world.  I  wonder  in  how  many  days  I  shall 
return  to  the  place  from  which  I  started.  I  will  go  on  to  the 
southern  end  of  the  world  and  then  I  will  turn  back." 

Then  he  walked  and  walked  and  walked.  He  saw  two  persons 
traveling.  "I  will  go  to  meet  them,"  he  said  to  himself.  When 
he  came  up  to  them  they  stood  to  one  side.  ''Why  do  you  go 
on  toward  that  place  ? ' '  they  asked  him.  ' '  Turn  back.  We  have 
heard  of  many  things  about  you.  You  must  not  go  there.  Go 
back."  "No,"  he  replied.  "I  am  going  on.  I  am  now  near 
the  south.  I  am  about  to  arrive  there.  In  two  days  I  will  be 
returning.  When  I  get  there  I  will  turn  back  of  my  own  accord. 
I  shall  soon  be  there." 

He  went  on  walking  toward  the  south.  He  saw  two  persons 
gathering  something.  He  decided  to  go  up  to  them  and  talk 
with  them.  ''Why  do  you  go  there?"  they  asked.  "They  tell 
many  bad  things  about  you. "  "  It  is  none  of  your  business  that 
I  am  going  to  walk  to  the  south. ' ' 

As  he  went  on  toward  the  south  he  saw  a  man  standing  alone 
in  the  distance.  When  he  came  up  to  him,  the  stranger  said, 
"Many  people  are  living  where  you  are  going."  "Well,  I  shall 
go  there  nevertheless. ' '  He  went  on  and  came  where  three  houses 
were  standing.  Many  people  were  living  there.  "Where  did 
you  come  from?"  they  asked.  "You  need  not  think  you  are 
going  to  do  unseemly  things  here. ' ' 

He  came  to  the  southern  end  of  the  world.  "I  am  traveling 
with  no  particular  end  in  view, ' '  he  assured  them.  ' '  Spend  the 
night  here,"  one  of  them  replied.  "Tomorrow  when  you  go 
back  my  sister  there  will  go  back  with  you. ' '  The  next  morning 
he  started  home,  the  woman  accompanying  him  as  his  wife.  As 
they  went  back  he  kept  saying.  ' '  I  made  the  people.  I  did  well. ' ' 
At  the  places  where  they  spent  the  nights  as  they  returned  he 
told  them  that  he  had  been  to  the  southern  end  of  the  world. 
On  their  return  he  saw  people  going  out  in  the  morning  to  bury 


364         University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.   [Vol.  10 

a  dead  person.    *  *  Do  you  think  I  will  travel  on  the  day  a  person 
has  been  buried?"  he  asked. 

He  went  home  toward  the  north.  He  saw  many  people  trav- 
eling as  he  went  back.  When  he  was  approaching  his  home  those 
he  met  said  to  him,  ''You  are  returning  after  a  long  absence." 
**Yes,"  he  replied,  *'I  am  nearly  home  now."  He  came  where 
two  people  were  standing.  ''Hurry  back,"  they  said  to  him. 
"Your  people  are  worried  about  you."  When  he  came  near  he 
heard  them  crying  for  him.  They  thought  he  was  dead.  They 
were  glad  to  see  him  coming  back  with  his  wife.  Indians  were 
living  everywhere. 


XVI.  THE  TWO-HEADED  MONSTEE52 

They  lived  at  Kit^unnadaadin.  Four  brothers  and  an  old 
woman  came  into  existence  there.  After  a  time  the  oldest  and 
wisest  of  the  brothers  concluded  he  would  go  down  the  creek. 
He  went  along,  passing  XonteLme,  Xoladin,  and  Lodaikyoxulla- 
din.  He  entered  the  creek  bed  and  came  out  again  at  Xomit- 
kyandin.  Continuing  down  stream  he  came  out  west  of  Saolkuts- 
din.  He  walked  along  where  the  houses  used  to  stand.  When 
he  came  to  the  creek  as  he  walked  along  he  heard  something 
making  a  noise  on  the  hillside  on  the  other  side  of  the  creek. 
He  went  on  toward  the  north,  but  noticed  the  small  branches  of 
the  redwood  trees  were  falling.  He  was  wondering  what  was 
making  the  noise.  Then  a  two-headed  monster  appeared  from 
the  hill  and  began  to  chase  him  about.  He  continued  to  run 
until  he  was  nearly  out  of  breath  and  about  to  die.  Finally  his 
breath  was  gone  and  he  died.  The  monster  had  killed  him.  Then 
he  carried  the  body  across  the  creek  and  up  the  hill  to  the  house 
where  he  lived.  The  house  was  so  covered  with  moss  no  one 
would  notice  it.    The  beings  who  eat  people  lived  there. 

When  that  brother  did  not  come  back  they  were  worried  at 
Kit^unnadaadiii.  Another  day  passed  and  they  were  worried. 
When  another  day  had  passed,  another  of  the  brothers  set  out. 
He  came  along  from  the  south,  passing  Kosda,  Xostatctafiadin, 
Tcekolindin,  Kailut(;ta' diii,  and  Lotceke.     Coming  to  this  place 


52  This  monster  is  known  to  the  Hupa.    This  series,  I,  167. 


1914]  Goddard:   Chilula  Texts  365 

(Tsedementc),  he  walked  on  to  the  south.  He  crossed  the  creek, 
came  to  XonteLme,  and  went  on  to  Kailuw;sadin.  Crossing  the 
creek  again,  he  came  to  Lodaikyoxoladin  and  north  of  that  Kin- 
nas^anmiye.  Again  crossing  the  creek,  he  came  out  at  Xomit- 
kyandin  and  then  went  west  from  Seolkutsdin.  When  continu- 
ing toward  the  north  he  came  to  the  place  where  the  village 
used  to  be,  he  heard  something  making  a  noise.  The  monster 
going  along  made  a  noise  in  the  timber  like  the  blowing  of  the 
wind.  He  killed  him  and  carried  him  across  the  stream  and 
up  the  hill.  Now  another  was  gone.  Two  of  them  had  been 
killed. 

Again  they  were  worried.  Another  of  the  brothers  was  wor- 
ried because  those  who  had  gone  did  not  return.  When  the 
second  one  failed  to  return  still  another  brother  set  out  toward 
the  north.  He  walked  along  from  the  south.  Three  were  gone 
and  there  was  only  one  left.  He  was  the  youngest  and  only  so 
large.  He  said  to  his  grandmother, ' '  Today  I  am  going  visiting. ' ' 
''My  grandchild,  why  do  you  say  that?  They  will  eat  us  all 
up,"  she  replied.  She  felt  for  something.  When  she  found  his 
belt  she  took  it  out  and  he  put  it  on.  It  was  so  wide.  ''When 
you  are  about  to  lose  your  breath  do  this  way, ' '  she  told  him. 

Then  the  youngest  started  out.  Three  were  not,  they  had 
died.  He  came  here  toward  the  north,  crossed  the  creek,  came 
to  XonteLme,  and  went  on  to  Kailuti^tanadin.  Then  he  went  on, 
came  to  the  creek,  crossed  it  and  came  out  into  Lodaikyoxoladin. 
He  continued  to  Kinnasfanmiyc,  came  west  to  the  creek,  and 
reached  Xomitkyandin.  Then  going  on  toward  the  north  he 
passed  west  of  Saolkuts,  where  the  house-pits  are.  Going  north 
beyond  the  small  creek  by  the  house-pits,  he  heard  something 
making  a  noise. 

Across  the  stream  up  on  the  hillside  above  DaxaLetaiiadin 
the  redwoods  were  moving  back  and  forth.  It  was  the  coming 
of  the  monster  that  made  the  noise.  When  he  came  out  into  the 
glade  north,  Nak'k'okostasaide  was  coming  from  the  west  making 
a  noise.  The  monster  chased  him  around  until  his  breath  was 
nearly  gone.  When  he  was  about  to  be  killed  he  did  this  way 
with  his  belt.  The  monster  fell  apart,  dead.  The  man  had  not 
taken  (the  magic  thing)  out.    He  carried  it  home  to  his  grand- 


366 


University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.    [Vol.  10 


mother  who  had  said,  ** Carry  it  with  this  (the  belt)."  Then 
he  went  across  the  stream  and  followed  the  track  up  the  hillside 
to  Kautrkyodaxontelkut.  There  on  the  south  side  near  the  head 
of  the  gulch  a  house  stood  on  which  ferns  were  growing.  He 
walked  to  it  and  went  in.  An  old  woman  and  a  boy  were  sitting 
there.  '^Something  must  have  made  a  noise,"  the  boy  said. 
There  was  a  net  lying  there,  made  for  catching  people  on  which 
these  persons  lived.  The  hillside  below  the  house  was  white 
with  the  bones  of  people.  When  the  boy  took  up  the  net  the 
man  did  this  way  to  him  with  his  belt  and  he  fell  in  two  parts. 
The  old  woman  in  turn  took  up  the  net.  He  did  the  same  way 
to  her  and  she  died.  ' '  People  shall  not  do  this  way.  They  shall 
live  right.  They  shall  not  eat  people. ' '  He  set  fire  to  the  house 
and  burned  it. 

He  went  back  south  where  his  grandmother  lived.  "I  have 
come  back,  grandmother,"  he  said.  ''I  am  glad  you  came  back, 
grandchild, ' '  she  replied.  ' '  I  killed  them, ' '  he  said,  and  returned 
the  belt.  ' '  My  body  is  glad, ' '  she  said.  Her  grandchild  was  left 
and  they  lived  well  after  that. 


XVII.  PANTHER  AND  GRIZZLY  BEARsa 

Panther  lived  way  north  at  Kiiikyolai  with  two  boys,  Wildcat 
and  Fox.^*  He  used  to  go  out  and  hunt  every  morning  with  a 
deer's  head  for  a  decoy.  He  used  to  say  to  the  boys,  "Do  not 
go  up  the  hill. ' '  He  always  used  to  say  that  and  then  go  hunting. 
He  brought  meat  and  cut  it  up  to  dry  until  the  house  was  fuU 
of  dry  meat  and  hides.  This  was  what  he  was  always  doing. 
He  kept  telling  the  boys  not  to  go  up  the  hill. 

* '  Why  does  he  always  say  that  to  us  ? "  the  boys  said  to  each 
other.    *  *  Why  does  he  keep  telling  us  not  to  go  up  the  hill  ? ' ' 

They  went  up  the  hill  and  came  where  a  grizzly  bear  was 
living.  They  trifled  with  him.  He  went  to  the  house  and  ate 
up  its  contents.  When  Panther  returned  he  exclaimed,  "What 
has  happened?"    The  house  was  flat  on  the  ground  and  every- 


53  See  page  352  above  for  a  more  detailed  version. 

54  It  was  explained  that  Wildcat  was  Panther 's  younger  brother  and 
Fox  a  nephew. 


1914]  Goddard:   CMlula  Texts  367 

thing  had  been  eaten  up.  He  started  off,  walking.  Seeing  smoke 
ascending,  he  went  to  the  house  and  put  his  head  in  the  doorway. 
He  saw  a  man  lying  by  the  fire  and  a  woman  sitting  near  by. 
He  shot  the  man  in  his  shoulder  as  he  lay  asleep.  **Alo,"  the 
old  man  said,  "what  did  you  put  in  the  fire  that  snaps  so?" 
'  *  Snapping  in  the  fire,  did  you  say  ?  Do  you  not  know  that  you 
have  been  shot?"  his  wife  asked. 

Panther  shot  him  everywhere.  There  was  no  result.  Finally 
the  woman  said,  "It  does  no  good  for  you  to  shoot  his  body. 
That  does  not  hurt  him.  His  heart  is  in  the  sole  of  his  foot." 
Panther  shot  him  there  and  killed  him.    He  surely  died. 

Panther  went  back  to  his  home  and  rebuilt  his  house.  He 
took  the  boys  and  pushed  them  into  the  fire.  "Was  that  what  T 
told  you?  Did  I  tell  you  to  go  up  the  hill ?"  he  said.  The  boys 
went  outside.  When  it  was  evening  he  called  to  them,  "Come 
in,  nephews. ' '    They  came  in  and  he  fed  them.    How  they  ate. 

He  told  grizzly  bear,  the  kind  he  killed,  not  to  do  that  again. 
"You  shall  just  live  out  of  doors." 

Panther  went  about  again  and  killed  game  as  before.  Soon 
the  house  was  as  it  used  to  be  inside.  He  took  good  care  of  the 
children.     They  lived  well. 

XVIII.  SKUNK'S  THEFT55 

Skunk  went  in  the  morning  to  get  bulbs.  "Grandmother, 
sharpen  my  digging  stick  for  me,"  he  said.  She  went  to  a  flat 
stone  that  lay  near  by  and  sang  as  she  worked.  The  boy  began 
to  dance.  "Girls,  a  handsome  boy  is  dancing."  They  gathered 
in  a  circle  near  him.  He  emitted  flatus.  The  spectators  all  bowed 
their  heads  to  the  ground.  Skunk  ate  the  bulbs,  scooping  up  the 
smaller  ones  in  his  hands.  When  the  others  recovered,  they  went 
home  carrying  nothing  but  their  empty  baskets. 

XIX.  THE  ESCAPE  OF  THE  CAPTUEED  GIRL56 

A  girl  lived  in  the  middle  of  the  world.  The  others  who  lived 
there  had  gone  west,  leaving  this  girl  alone.    There  were  no  other 


55  This   tale   is   commonly   told   by   the   Indians  living   south   of   the 
Chilula.    A  version  is  given  from  the  Kato,  in  present  series,  V,  219. 

56  The  Hupa  have  a  similar  tale.    This  series,  I,  182. 


368         University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.   [Vol.  10 

Indians  in  the  neighborhood.  As  fall  was  coining  on,  the  girl 
busied  herself  gathering  acorns  and  cracking  them.  A  long  time 
passed  before  the  absent  party  returned. 

Once  when  she  was  employed  as  usual  sitting  facing  the  door 
she  heard  a  person  outside.  She  was  so  frightened  that  she  did 
not  take  out  the  acorn  she  had  just  put  in  her  mouth  to  crack. 
She  saw  he  was  holding  a  carrying  basket  before  his  face.  The 
man  came  in,  remaining  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  fire  from 
her.  His  face  had  been  blackened.  **Do  not  be  afraid  of  me. 
I  have  been  thinking  about  you  for  some  time.  I  knew  about 
you, ' '  he  said  to  her.  Although  she  was  afraid  of  him,  she  gave 
him  some  acorn  soup.  He  bade  her  make  acorn  flour  for  their 
journey. 

The  next  day  they  started  back.  They  traveled  until  they 
came  where  he  had  spent  the  night  on  his  way.  They  camped 
there.  The  next  morning  they  arose  and  continued  their  journey. 
They  traveled  until  sunset,  spending  the  night  where  he  had 
previously  camped.  Thus  they  traveled.  ''Did  you  think  it 
would  take  ten  days  ? "  he  said  to  her,  *  *  we  shall  get  there  in  one 
more  day. ' '  The  next  day  they  started  out  again.  When  the  sun 
was  in  the  west  they  came  to  a  hollow  tree.^^  The  man  sat  down 
outside  and  told  his  companion  to  be  seated.  When  they  went 
in  the  girl  found  it  was  a  large  tree  with  plenty  of  room  inside. 
Obsidians  lay  around  everywhere.  South  of  the  tree  was  a  pond 
of  water.  There  were  many  crates  of  dry  meat  in  the  house. 
* '  Do  not  be  afraid, ' '  the  man  said.    * '  Eat. ' ' 

When  they  had  spent  several  days  thus  the  man  said,  **I 
would  like  to  eat  some  fresh  meat."  He  felt  around  the  south 
side  of  the  room  and  took  out  a  package.  The  woman  watched 
him  as  he  went  out  and  entered  the  timber.  She  went  along  the 
edge  of  the  timber  watching  him.  In  the  timber  was  a  small 
open  glade  in  which  a  band  of  elk  were  feeding.  The  man  was 
holding  the  package  under  his  arm.  The  woman  was  able  to 
watch  him  without  his  seeing  her.  ' '  What  is  he  up  to  ? "  she  was 
saying  to  herself.  When  he  came  to  a  favorable  place  he  did 
this  way  with  the  package^^  and  the  elk  fell  down. 


57  Hollow  trees  were  frequently  used  as  houses  (p.  273). 

58  He  pointed  it  at  the  elk  as  was  shown  by  a  gesture. 


1914]  Goddard:   Chilula  Texts  369 

The  woman  went  back  and  went  into  the  tree  again.  When 
the  man  came  in  he  said,  **I  am  going  to  do  the  butchering.  I 
will  eat  fresh  meat.'*  He  started  away.  The  woman  had  seen 
him  put  the  package  down.  She  took  it  up  and  followed  him 
with  it.  She  came  upon  him  as  he  was  butchering  and  did  this 
way  to  him.  She  went  back,  carried  the  package  in,  and  put  it 
down  again.  When  after  a  time  the  man  came  back  again,  he 
complained  that  his  head  ached.  By  night  he  was  nearly  crazy. 
"I  am  worse,"  he  said,  **drag  me  to  the  pond  and  throw  my 
body  in.  Throw  the  package  in  after  me."  When  he  died  she 
did  as  he  had  asked. 

The  next  morning  she  selected  three  red  obsidians,  three  robes, 
and  two  black  obsidians,  put  them  in  her  carrying  basket,  and 
started  home.  On  her  return  journey  she  camped  each  night 
where  they  had  camped  on  the  previous  journey.  It  took  her 
just  as  many  days  to  return  as  they  had  taken  in  coming.  As 
she  came  near  her  home,  she  heard  a  noise.  It  was  the  falling 
of  the  tears  which  she  heard.  When  she  had  put  her  carrying 
basket  down  she  asked  what  they  were  crying  about.  *'You  are 
crying  for  me  too  soon,"  she  told  them.  She  went  in  the  house 
and  found  that  after  they  had  returned  they  had  cut  their  hair 
off  even  with  their  chins.  She  told  them  about  herself  and  tlie 
man  who  had  taken  her  away. 


XX.  BEWITCHING  OF  THE  OLD  WOMAN  OF  SELGAIKALINDIN 

They  were  living  together  at  SeLgaikalindiii.  They  went  west, 
leaving  an  old  woman  like  me  (the  narrator),  who  stayed  be- 
hind. A  girl  was  living  alone  across  the  creek  on  the  east  side. 
The  people  were  gone  a  long  time.  Finally  they  came  back 
from  the  west. 

The  old  woman  had  not  eaten  that  day,  but  had  walked  down 
the  hill.  She  kept  saying  to  herself,  ' '  Something  large  has  been 
dragged  along  the  trail."  It  was  fall  and  the  sun  was  low 
in  the  west.  ''I  will  spend  the  night  with  her  I  think.  I  am 
lonesome,"  she  said.  ''Well,  come  in,"  the  other  said.  The 
woman  was  all  the  time  making  faces,  peering  under  her  hand. 
She  did  this  because  she  had  witch  medicine.     ''Why  do  you 


370  University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.    [Vol.  10 

keep  doing  that  to  me?  Why  don^t  you  go  to  bed?"  She  had 
buried  her  bad  medicine  in  the  ground.  After  a  time  she  had 
cracked  one  basketful  of  acorns.  She  still  sat  there  watching 
her.  **Why  do  you  do  that  to  me?"  she  asked.  She  finished 
shelling  another  basketful.  The  dawn  was  looming  up.  Soon 
it  was  fairly  light. 

"Go  out,"  she  told  her.  She  drove  her  out,  saying,  **You 
came  here  to  sleep."  Under  the  bed  there  were  two  baskets  with 
their  open  ends  pressed  together.  She  took  them  out  and  threw 
them  after  her,  hitting  her.  *'Die.  Let  it  go  into  your  body. 
The  basket  smells  badly,"  she  called  after  her. 

The  next  day  the  girl  said  to  herself,  ''I  will  take  a  walk." 
She  came  to  a  log  under  which  a  person's  dead  body  was  lying. 
It  was  the  body  of  the  old  woman  into  which  the  evil  power 
had  entered.  The  rotten  wood  had  fallen  over  the  body,  covering 
it  up. 

"I  will  go  up  the  hill,"  the  girl  said  to  herself.  The  people 
of  the  village  were  busy  at  different  occupations.  Some  of  them 
were  soaking  acorn  meal.  She  went  into  the  house,  where  fish 
which  they  had  brought  from  the  coast  was  lying.  They  gave 
her  some  of  the  fish  to  eat  and  asked  her  if  she  had  seen  anything 
of  such  an  old  woman.  ''When  we  came  back  yesterday  she  had 
gone  out,"  they  said.  "She  did  not  come  to  see  me,"  the  girl 
replied.  She  started  home,  carrying  her  load  of  fish.  "I  did 
not  see  her, ' '  the  girl  said  to  herself.    She  came  back  to  her  home. 


XXI.  BEWITCHING  OF  THE  LITTCUWHWINNAUWDIN  GIEL 

Two  men  and  a  sister  were  living  across  the  creek  from 
Littcuw;ht(;innaut<;din.  One  time  a  man  came  from  the  west  who 
said,  "You  better  bring  acorns  across  the  mountains  to  me." 
They  loved  their  sister  very  much,  but  they  concluded  they  would 
carry  loads  of  acorns  across  to  the  coast.  They  warned  their 
sister  not  to  leave  acorns  outside  the  house. 

They  set  out  toward  the  west  with  their  loads,  going  into  the 
forest.  They  went  down  to  Seyekyokait,  where  they  stopped  to 
drink.  Going  up  the  ridge,  they  came  to  the  resting  place.  When 
they  had  gone  a  long  way  they  came  to  KinsinLok.    They  crossed 


1914]  Goddard:   CMlula  Texts  371 

the  creek  and  went  on  until  they  came  to  the  ocean,  where  they 
sat  down.  They  sat  by  the  village  of  Toteindinnundin.  When 
they  came  to  the  house  of  the  man  who  had  asked  them  to  bring 
acorns  they  sat  by  his  door. 

*'Call  them  in,"  he  said  to  some  one.  ''Come  in,"  that  one 
called  out.  They  ate  supper.  When  they  had  finished  eating 
the  old  man  said,  ''Well,  let  us  go  to  the  sweathouse."  The 
men  went  to  the  sweathouse  and  lay  down  pretty  close  to  each 
other.  The  old  man  got  up  and  took  something  out  from  the 
eastern  side.  "Are  you  asleep?"  he  asked.  They  did  not  an- 
swer. When  he  kept  asking  them  they  knew  what  he  was  about 
to  do.  When  the  dawn  was  about  to  appear  he  was  going  to 
kill  them  by  magic.  The  strangers  moved  the  old  man's  sons 
and  lay  in  their  places.  The  old  man  felt  about  and  rubbed 
something  as  he  supposed  in  the  mouths  of  his  visitors.  About 
dawn  they  heard  something  making  a  noise  in  the  sons'  throats. 
It  was  the  black  fluid  in  their  throats  that  made  the  noise.  Then 
he  felt  about  and  found  that  it  was  that  which  made  the  noise. 

Then  the  wise  one  spoke.  "You  did  not  have  good  intentions 
when  you  asked  that  we  bring  you  loads."  They  had  already 
made  up  the  loads  of  surf  fish  and  seaweed  given  in  return  with 
mortars  in  the  middle  of  them.  The  old  man  told  this  man  if 
he  would  not  tell  on  him  he  would  give  him  a  woman  and  red 
obsidians.    The  man  said  he  did  not  want  such  a  woman. 

"Well,  let  us  go  back,"  they  said.  Then  they  started  back 
and  came  out  again  at  KinsinLok.  When  they  had  crossed  and 
were  going  up  the  other  side  they  heard  that  the  boys  had  died 
after  they  left.  They  went  along  until  the  sun  was  in  the  west 
and  they  had  come  to  Toyeky5kadukka,  where  they  had  intended 
to  camp,  when,  fearing  that  their  sister  might  leave  acorns  out- 
side, they  went  on. 

The  old  man  was  walking  after  them,  vainly  trying  to  over- 
take them.  They  heard  him  as  he  was  coming  along.  One  of 
the  brothers  told  the  other  to  sit  below  the  trail.  He  himself 
sat  above  the  trail  with  a  knife  in  his  hand.  A  log  lay  there 
over  which  one  had  to  climb.  When  the  one  following  them 
jumped  over  the  log  one  of  the  brothers  jumped  up  in  front  of 
him  and  stabbed  him  here.    Then  the  one  sitting  below  the  trail 


372  University  of  California  Puhlications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.   [Vol.  10 

jumped  up,  caught  hold  of  him,  and  stabbed  him  repeatedly. 
The}  cut  him  to  pieces. 

Then  they  came  back  from  the  west  to  the  Teswan  village. 
From  there  they  went  on  to  Satsmittodin.  It  was  rather  warm 
as  they  passed  along.  They  went  on,  coming  down  to  Kaiistmit- 
todin,  crossed  and  went  up  the  ridge  to  Tcimmetauwitkut.  When 
they  came  along  the  ridge  on  their  way  home  they  heard  a  noise 
in  the  direction  of  their  village.  They  nearly  fell  with  the 
heat  (?).  They  found  that  their  sister,  on  whose  account  they 
had  hurried  back,  had  been  killed  by  magic  poison.  She  had  been 
killed  the  night  before  as  she  was  bringing  in  acorns.  They  did 
not  feel  so  badly,  for  they  had  killed  the  man  who  caused  her 
death  and  had  cut  him  to  pieces.  Those  two  who  had  loved  their 
sister  very  much  came  back  to  their  home. 


XXII.  FLIGHT  OF  THE  MUEDEKEES 

There  were  people  living  at  the  village  of  Kit^unnadaadin, 
where  there  was  a  sweathouse.  Some  one  came  to  the  village 
and  said  to  the  headman,  * '  Some  people  are  coming  to  you  today 
from  Katcwundiii,  on  the  Trinity  river."  ''Very  well,"  the 
headman  replied.  "I  am  not  afraid.  Let  them  come.  Let  them 
come  at  once."  Soon  he  saw  an  Indian.  "Are  you  willing  that 
many  of  us  should  come  to  your  village?"  he  asked.  "I  came 
first  to  ask."  '*I  am  not  afraid.  You  may  come,"  he  replied. 
* '  In  two  days  you  may  expect  many  of  us, "  he  said,  and  started 
back. 

After  a  time  four  men  came  up  the  hill.  '*Are  you  afraid 
of  me  ? "  one  of  them  asked.  "  It  is  all  right.  I  am  not  afraid, ' ' 
he  replied.  ''You  may  bring  your  people  to  my  village."  Then 
it  happened  that  way.  There  was  a  fight  at  the  murderer's  vil- 
lage. He  brought  his  family  to  Kit^unnadaadiii.  At  that  village 
the  sweathouse  stood  south  of  a  large  maple  tree  which  had 
several  spreading  branches.  There  were  five  people  who  came. 
It  was  winter  time,  there  was  snow  and  it  was  cold.  They  spent 
several  nights  at  the  village,  the  women  sleeping  in  the  house 
and  the  men  in  the  sweathouse. 


1914]  Goddard:   Chilula  Texts  373 

Then  it  happened  that  a  man  came  there  holding  a  bunch  of 
brush  before  his  face.  Another  man  came  in.  One  of  the  women 
ran  out  to  call  the  men.  She  came  to  the  entrance  of  the  sweat- 
house  and  called  out,  ''Hurry,  they  are  attacking  us."  There 
were  two  men  staying  at  the  time  in  the  sweathouse.  The  enemy 
put  fire  to  it  and  burned  it  to  the  ground.  Three  of  them 
escaped  to  the  creek,  plunged  in,  and  crossed  to  the  timber  on 
the  opposite  side.  They  lived  there  in  the  timber  until  giant 
ferns  grew  on  their  shoulders.  Finally  they  came  back  and 
lived  happily  afterwards. 

XXIII.  EEJUVENATION  DISCONTINUED 

He-who-came-down-for-the-world  came  into  existence  here  at 
the  northern  end  of  the  world.  He  started  traveling.  He 
thought  about  this.  He  came  walking  from  the  north.  He  came 
to  the  middle  of  the  world.  He  walked  on.  He  came  to  that 
which  points  toward  the  sky.  He  came  where  the  hiU  stands. 
He  arrived  there.  He  made  hills  stand  on  either  side.  There 
used  to  be  one  that  stood  up. 

* '  People  will  live  well.  They  will  travel  safely. ' '  They  used 
to  go  up  this  hill  and  become  young  again.  When  a  person 
who  is  old  like  me  went  up  this  hill  toward  the  east  he  became 
young  again.  It  was  this  way.  After  a  time  one  company  of 
people  went  up  the  hill.  It  happened  to  them  that  they  were 
rejuvenated.  Then  the  one  who  lives  way  south  said,  "This 
hill  will  be  mine  only. ' '  He  did  not  like  it  that  those  who  trav- 
eled on  it  should  become  young  again.  He  did  not  like  it  to  be 
tall. 

XXIV.  THE  FLOOD 

He  used  to  live  by  the  large  butte  that  stands  here.  Water 
came.  The  water  flowed  over  every  part  of  the  world.  Then 
only  so  much  of  the  hill  was  not  covered  by  the  water.  All  kinds 
of  animals  swam  to  it.  Then  the  water  which  came  dried  up 
again.  The  people  lived  happily  again  after  the  ground  was  dry. 
Just  the  Kixunnai  lived  on  this  butte. 

Here  is  the  end. 


374  University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.    [Vol.  10 

He-who-came-down-for-this-earth  thought  the  people  had 
talked  very  badly.  Because  of  that  the  flood  came.  Thus  they 
will  live  well.    After  that  he  made  it  good. 


XXV.  MINK'S  GAMBLING  MEDICINE 

Mink  came  into  existence  at  the  mouth  of  Redwood  creek. 
He  said  to  himself,  "I  will  travel  along  the  creek  toward  the 
south."  He  always  lost  when  he  gambled.  He  was  slim  like 
this  (gesture).  He  tied  his  hair  with  a  band  and  started  from 
a  place  north  of  here,  walking  along  this  trail.  His  tears  were 
falling,  he  was  so  sorry  for  himself.  He  went  along  until  he 
came  to  NeskintceindiLdin,  where  the  alders  grow.  ''I  will  lie 
down  for  the  night  in  the  Douglas  spruce  timber,"  he  said  to 
himself.  A  limb  of  a  tree  half  way  up  the  trunk  broke  off  and 
fell.  ''Oh,  how  poor  I  am,"  he  said  to  himself.  He  smoked 
himself  with  the  Douglas  spruce  boughs  and  sang  a  song.  He 
stood  in  the  smoke  all  night. 

"When  it  was  morning  he  walked  on  toward  the  south  until 
he  came  to  Kinnakonta' diii,  where  the  village  was.  A  man  who 
lived  in  a  house  standing  at  the  southern  end  of  the  village  came 
out.  He  immediately  clapped  his  hands  together  as  in  gambling 
and  made  a  correct  guess.  "You  are  just  my  match,"  said  the 
man  from  the  north.  *'What  will  you  wager?"  asked  the  other. 
'*0h,  this  hairband  I  think,"  replied  the  first.  ''We  will  play 
for  that." 

They  took  seats  facing  each  other  and  commenced  to  play. 
' '  Do  this  (shuffle) , "  he  said  to  him.  He  pointed  and  won.  Again 
he  did  it.  He  shuffled  ten  times  and  won.  It  was  mink  who  won. 
He  was  winning  right  along.  He  piled  up  his  winnings  behind 
himself.  Among  them  lay  the  hairband.  They  kept  on  playing 
while  two  and  then  three  nights  passed.  Mink  continued  to 
win.  "I  will  stay  a  fourth  night  and  then  I  will  go  home,"  he 
said.  "When  the  fourth  day  had  passed  he  started  back,  going 
north  along  the  road.  His  winnings  were  so  large  he  could 
hardly  carry  the  load.  He  went  back  toward  the  north  until  he 
came  where  he  lived.

XXVI.  EAGLE'S  WAR  MEDICINE 

Eagle  was  about  to  start  out  from  the  north  to  travel  along 
this  way.  He  was  told  that  no  one  ever  passed  beyond  a  certain 
place.  He  resolved  that  he  would  go  there  nevertheless.  He 
made  medicine  in  this  manner  (stuck  an  herb  in  his  hair).  ''Well, 
I  am  going, ' '  he  said,  and  set  out  from  the  north  along  this  trail. 
He  came  from  far  north  to  the  place  where  those  lived  who  were 
hostile.  He  walked  past  saying  to  himself,  ''When  Indians  come 
into  existence  they  will  know  about  me.  They  will  hear  about 
this  formula  of  mine.  Those  who  know  my  formula  will  make 
medicine  this  way." 

He  walked  this  way  starting  from  the  distant  north.  After 
a  time  he  was  halfway.  Then  he  was  close  by.  Eagle  walked 
along  looking  very  fine.  He  passed  here  walking  toward  the 
south.  When  he  came  to  Yantcintandin,  he  said  to  himself,  "He 
will  come  after  me. ' ' 

When  he  saw  that  he  was  getting  safely  by  he  said  to  himself, 
"This  medicine  of  mine  is  very  good."  He  went  by.  "This 
medicine  of  mine  is  good.  He  who  knows  it  will  go  by  without 
difficulty." 

Then  he  went  by  to  the  south.  "With  this  herb  of  mine  he 
will  pass  along.  They  will  be  afraid  of  him."  He  went  from 
them  walking  south.  He  came  to  KastaMifi  and  from  there 
went  on  south.  He  walked  by  TciLkundifi.  He  went  on  south 
to  Tsekyokatinnit.  Then  he  went  up  the  hill  to  iLtistceml.  Still 
treveling  to  the  south  he  came  to  InteLkaimi.  He  walked  by  there 
and  went  south  to  Tcimmananakut.  He  walked  by  and  went 
south  to  DiLtcwagnadaadiii.  He  went  on  south  to  Tenakut.  He 
went  south  to  Hwanami.  From  there  he  walked  south  to  Nowil- 
lindiii.    Then  continuing  to  the  south  he  went  up  the  hill.^^ 

Eagle  did  this. 

XXVII.  WAR  MEDICINE  OF  THE  SEKYOXATINNIT  YOUTH 
He  lived  south  of  Sekyoxatinnit  with  his  sister.     When  the 

dawn  was  about  to  travel  she  (the  sister)  cut  a  hair-band  so  wide. 

She  tied  it  on  the  hair  of  the  crown  of  her  head.    She  spoke  to

the  Whilkut  country  along  upper  Redwood  Creek. 


376  University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.   [Vol.  10 

her  brother.  Then  she  threw  ashes  out  like  this.  When  the 
enemy  came  to  the  entrance  to  fight  the  striking  flints  caused  the 
blanket  to  shake  and  make  a  noise  like  "sai."  Nothing  bad 
entered  his  body.  This  way  she  did  to  her  brother  with  the  hair- 
band  and  the  ashes. 

She  made  medicine  when  people  were  to  fight.  She  rubs 
ashes  on  his  face  making  horizontal  lines  below  his  eyes  and 
across  the  upper  portion  of  his  arms.  Having  made  the  medi- 
cine she  shouts  "meu"  five  times  and  repeats  the  formula.  They 
lived  at  Sekyoxatinnitme. 


XXVIII.  PURIFICATION   OF   THE   BEREAVED— FOR  MEN 

He  came  into  existence  alone  here  northeast.  He  put  the 
water  of  dentalia  close  by  himself.  He  burned  five  bundles  of 
Ceanothus  brush  and  stood  in  the  smoke. 

After  a  time  a  person  died.  He  fixed  the  body  properly. 
When  he  had  finished  he  bathed  (the  mourner)  with  ginseng. 

The  deer's  water  stood  there.  The  white  deer  stood  in  the 
water  which  came  so  high  on  them.  He  caused  them  to  travel. 
He  caused  the  roan  deer  to  travel.  He  made  them  go  where  mint 
was  growing.  It  was  as  if  they  were  floating  in  it.  After  a  time 
he  caused  white  deer  to  travel  there.  After  them  he  made  the 
brown  deer  travel.  Then  they  swam  in  the  water  of  dentalia. 
Then  he  opened  (the  pond)  and  when  he  opened  it  the  noise 
encircled  the  earth. 

He  always  does  this  way,  with  it  he  conducts  the  person  to 
Kixunnaita'  din.  That  which  he  did  belongs  to  Indians.  When  it 
had  been  day  five  times  he  placed  five  bundles  of  yerba  buena 
under  him  on  the  fire  and  poured  a  decoction  of  mukkadjek'olen®*' 
over  him.  He  travels  well.  He  brought  him  back  from 
Kixunnaita' din.  I  put  this  much  of  that  which  belongs  to 
Indians  (tobacco)  in  your  hand.  You  will  have  so  much.  You 
will  do  this  way  in  any  case.  Nothing  will  go  by  you, ' '  he  said 
to  him.  He  brought  him  back  to  the  Indian  world.  After  this 
it  was  so.

FOR  WOMEN 

It  is  always  dry  here  southeast.  There  are  always  many 
flowers  there.  He  puts  abalone  water  there.  A  tanoak  stands 
there.  The  girls  always  come  to  it  from  the  northeast.  They 
also  come  from  the  southwest.  He  placed  the  water  of  a  sea- 
shell  by  it.  "This  abalone 's  water  I  sprinkle  on  you.  This 
maxatcinminnexolen 's  water  I  sprinkle  on  you,"  he  said  to  her. 
When  he  has  put  the  water  this  way  on  the  crown  of  her  head 
he  says,  "We  come  back  to  the  Indian  world."  He  rubs  it  on 
her  back  also.    He  makes  it  this  way  for  a  woman. 

ADDITIONAL   INFORMATION 

After  the  dictation  of  the  above  given  text,  the  following 
additional  information  concerning  this  purification  ceremony  was 
secured,  chiefly  in  reply  to  questions. 

The  medicines  used  are  five  bundles  of  Ceanothus  integerri- 
mus,  the  roots  of  ginseng,  a  vine,  probably  yerba  buena,  Micro- 
meria  Chamissonis,  and  the  roots  of  Leptotaenia  Californica. 
When  the  medicine  is  made  for  women  the  shells  mentioned  in 
the  texts  are  put  in  the  fluid,  whole.  The  bundles  of  Ceanothus 
are  used  for  fumigation.  The  medicines  are  brought  in  a  carry- 
ing basket,  pounded  in  a  basket-mortar,  and  boiled  in  a  basket- 
bowl  by  means  of  hard  stones  called  seLittso,  "stones  blue." 
The  medicine  is  prepared  in  the  dwelling  house.  The  ginseng  is 
used  on  the  flrst  day,  the  others  mentioned  on  the  second,  third, 
and  fifth  day  after  the  death.  No  ceremony  is  held  on  the 
fourth  day.  The  formula  given  above  is  repeated  during  the 
preparation  of  the  medicine  on  each  of  the  days  it  is  made. 

The  man  who  digs  the  grave  (and  who  is  the  nearest  able- 
bodied  male  relative)  has  a  fire  to  the  right  of  the  regular  house 
fire  as  one  enters.  A  board  is  placed  on  edge  to  separate  the  two 
fires.  The  grave-digger  is  given  two  meals  a  day,  one  at  sunrise 
and  another  about  four  in  the  afternoon.  He  is  allowed  to  eat 
dry  salmon  and  surf -fish,  but  not  fresh  salmon  or  eels,  or  meat 
in  any  form.  After  the  evening  meal  he  goes  out  to  the  grave 
carrying  or  wearing  a  bundle  of  Douglas  spruce  boughs  over  his 
head.    He  builds  a  small  fire  by  the  grave-side  and  cries,  saying, 


378  University  of  California  Publications  in  Am.  Arch,  and  Ethn.   [Vol.  10 

*  *  I  have  come  for  my  tracks. ' '  The  bundle  of  boughs  is  used  in 
the  house  for  a  pillow.  When  the  ceremony  is  completed,  this 
bundle  of  boughs,  the  board  used  to  fence  off  the  fire,  the  baskets 
used  in  cooking  for  and  in  feeding  the  grave-digger,  and  the 
clothing  he  has  worn  are  carried  up  to  the  east  and  put  in  a 
tree.    The  place  where  he  lay  is  carefullj!^  smoothed  out. 

A  medicine  called  kimau  Lukkau,  ' '  medicine  fat, ' '  probably 
Osmorrhiza  nuda,  is  given  internally  on  the  fifth  day  with  fish 
and  eels,  when  the  first  regular  meal  is  given  the  mourners.  The 
bath  in  the  river,  used  by  the  Hupa,  is  not  permitted  by  the 
Chilula.  If  there  is  no  deer  meat  at  hand  for  the  meal  of  the 
fifth  day,  deer  sinew  is  used  instead.  The  person  who  makes  the 
medicine  receives  the  various  baskets  used  in  the  ceremony,  and 
a  string  of  dentalia,  valued  at  five  dollars. 

When  the  grave-digger  is  ready  to  break  the  ground  he  says : 
*'I  make  a  mark  around  the  butte  here  southeast.  I  am  going 
to  dig  the  ground  here  with  that. ' ' 

The  Chilula  do  not  put  a  basket  in  the  doorway  as  do  the 
Hupa.  They  carry  the  body  out  through  an  opening  in  the  side 
of  the  house,  not  through  the  doorway.  The  body  is  taken  out 
head  first,  the  grave-digger  taking  the  feet.  The  family  may  eat 
while  the  body  is  in  the  house  and  the  grave-digger  is  required 
to  do  so.  They  used  to  put  dentalia  in  the  ears  and  nose  of  the 
deceased. 

When  the  body  is  about  to  be  buried,  it  is  addressed  as 
follows : ' '  You  must  go  away  from  me.    You  must  not  think  about 


The  informant  and  her  husband  were  showing  signs  of  un- 
easiness. The  interpreter  replied  to  a  question  that  they  were 
afraid.  ' '  The  sun  hears  it  all  and  will  do  something  bad. ' '  The 
informant  threw  away  a  chip  with  which  she  had  illustrated  the 
position  of  the  board  used,  and  exclaimed,  ''Disregard  what  we 
have  said."

XXIX.  A   SUPEENATUEAL    EXPEEIENCE 


379 


Four  years  ago  I  did  not  see  the  world  then  it  happened  that 
I  did  something.  I  died.  I  dreamed  that  I  was  here  in  the  south- 
eastern world  in  a  large  cloud.  A  feather  ornament  was  moving 
this  way  and  singing  thus.  It  was  the  one  who  came  for  me 
who  was  doing  it.®^  A  little  while  I  am  holding  you.  For  a 
short  time  I  will  live  again. ' '  Then  I  sang  it  after  him.  I  sing 
it  every  night.    After  a  time  I  got  well. 


61  The  person  meant  is  the  supernatural  leader  of  the  shamans.  He  is 
said  to  be  the  child  known  to  the  Hupa  in  the  myth  found  on  page  187  of 
volume  1  of  this  series.  Molasses'  wife  was  a  medicine  woman  for 
troubles  caused  by  the  deer  gods.  As  such,  she  was  on  her  way  to  the 
world  of  the  southeast  on  the  sky,  not  below  to  the  world  of  the  ordinary 
dead  (this  series,  I,  74).  So  certain  was  her  husband  that  she  was  dead 
that  he  went  for  lumber  to  make  her  coffin.
